Boston Children’s Museum is hosting a day of special events in honor of Earth Day. The museum is at 300 Congress Street in the Fort Point section of Boston.
Visitors are able to participate in activities such as recycle creations, exploring green packaging and decorating a reusable bag. Additionally they can learn about water testing and how to pack a waste free lunch.
Every family who attends the event can take home a free tree and attend a demonstration on proper planting.
National Grid, an energy company and a sponsor of Earth Day at the museum, has employees on-hand to answer questions. Sue Lednar, a specialist in the energy efficiency department, she she has noticed more people becoming Earth-conscious.
Members of MassRecycle, are there to promote paper recycling, agree.
“I see it in the level of questions asked on our website. How can I recycle at my child’s school? How can I recycle at work? Lots of people are asking how they can recycle in their own world community,” said Jessica Wozniak, executive director of MassRecycle.
Izzitgreen.com is a local online community launching next month that functions as a social networking site where visitors can rate local businesses on their eco-sensitivity.
Their goal is to make the green movement more powerful at the local level, said Jordan Wirfs-Brock, content director of Izzitgreen.com.
The company’s mascot, Izzit, a large furry lima-bean green creature is on hand to take pictures and interact with visitors.
